shorts-to-double-float

Arguments: hwhi hwlo lwhi lwlo

Returns a boxed double-float number whose bits include the 16 bits from hwhi as the most-significant 2 bytes, followed by the 16 bits of hwlo, followed by the 16 bits of lwhi, followed finally by the 16 bits of lwlo as its least significant 2 bytes. The only consing that is done is to allocate the double-float.
